Warm sun has finally started to peak through the clouds of the chilly north, which means we can stretch our limbs and take a breather. While we’re doing that, let’s talk about what we’ve been up to in terms of development. 

The low level programming of the rules of the game and content (heroes, villains, and environments) is well underway. All of the Freedom Five and half of the environments are complete, along with a couple of villains to test them against. The Prime Wardens are up next! We're also working on the UI, but that's not in a place where we can showcase it yet.

Last time we showed you some idle animations, which were intentionally very subtle. The goal is a little bit of life, not a distraction. However, these heroes and villains aren't always idle! Sometimes they have to take actions, and so we're working on more animations to signify they are doing something. Here's what we have so far for the Prime Wardens and their occasional companion, Ra!

As unprecedented winter storms continue to batter most of North America, we've been keeping warm by the heat of our monitors while we continue to carve Sentinels 2 from the digital marble. While the low-level development of the rules engine doesn't offer much by way of interesting visuals to show you, Jennifer has been working on bringing the characters to life like you've never seen them before!

The Freedom 5 (+1):

There will be much more to show in the coming months so stay tuned!
